Autonomous Organizations Blockchains are nice and all for automating paperwork, but they're only one component of a much broader set of technologies. Building the infrastructure of an organization solely through programmed economic incentives makes it possible to seamlessly draw on talent from anywhere in the world without being subject to the limitations of personal bias.
